james brewster - wingbeat fission

i heard this one on national radio station p2 on the radioshow "monitor", a program dedicated to more experimental electronic music. it was during a selection of rather new stuff and things sent to them and it really got my interest a bit into the track.

the track itself is a segment as the album "as a hovering insect mass breaks your fall" and the first part of this track follows much like the rest of the album. kind of an electronic take on post-rock or like chillwave or whatever it's called. but then track breaks down and entering there is this waggly (maybe fake) acid bassline.

the vocals that appear in the first half are reversed and the tr-909 drumprogramming is starting to appear in a more substantial way. but it doesn't stay all acid housey and eventually it goes back to the downbeat vibe of the  first part. much like the experimentation of the rest of the album, the track morphs into this haze of buzzing bees and reverb.

this composition is quite mad but in a really luscious way and the whole album is well recommended stuff
